What is the Laver Cup?
The Laver Cup is a hard-court tennis tournament played between Team Europe and Team World.
Named after Australian tennis great, Rod Laver, the Laver Cup was started in 2017 and it involves six players each from Team Europe and Team World.
What is the format of the Laver Cup?
- Five sessions played over three days (Friday-Sunday).
- It is ‘best of three sets’ format for every match. In case of split sets, the third set is a 10-point match tiebreaker.
- Each player has to play at least one singles match during the first two days. However, no player can play singles more than twice during the three days.
- At least four of the six players must play doubles. No doubles combination is played more than once, unless for the Decider on Day 3, if points are 12:12.
- Each match win is worth one point on Friday, two points on Saturday, and three points on Sunday. The first team to reach 13 points wins.
- In the event of a tie after all 12 matches are played, a final overtime doubles match – a decider – is played as a regular set with ad scoring and a tiebreak.
